Formulas
NEAT catalysts accelerate oxidation reactions, enhancing the efficiency and lowering the cost of existing AOPs.
NATURE INSPIRED CHEMISTRY
NEAT formulas use our proprietary, patented TAML catalysts, which represent a new platform of chemistry that mimics the catalytic activity of the peroxidase enzyme found in our bodies. TAML catalysts consist of a macrocyclic ligand that surrounds a central metal ion. The ligand provides a reactive environment for the metal ion to accelerate the oxidation process, while also stabilizing the metal ion and preventing it from being deactivated. NEAT’s formulas are highly flexible across systems and environmentally friendly, minimizing the need for auxiliary chemicals and high energy inputs.
Wide Operable pH Range
NEAT formulas can effectively operate across in a wide pH range of 6-12, reducing the need for acids or caustics to manipulate pH levels, thereby lowering both chemical cost and material waste.
Simple Installation & Dosing
NEAT formulas require no specialized equipment. While every use case is unique, dosing can be done with a simple “off the shelf” pump skid or existing infrastructure.
Flexible System Integrations
NEAT formulas can enhance a wide range of advanced oxidation processes including peroxide, hypochlorite, permanganate, ozone, and electrochemical systems. This includes industrial processes and wastewater systems.
Flexible Product Form
NEAT formulas are flexible and can “bolt on” to many oxidation systems without proprietary equipment. In its raw form, NEAT catalysts are crystalline structures and can be delivered for both dry form dosing, or pre-suspended in liquid solution. Regardless of form, NEAT formulas are highly stable and can be stored for long periods of time.
Lower System Cost
NEAT formulas not only accelerate oxidation reactions, but can do so at lower operating temperatures and with fewer auxiliary chemicals - saving energy and material cost.
Flexible Chemistry
NEAT formulas are advanced catalytic additives that can be “tuned” to meet the needs of existing treatment trains across a variety of water qualities and oxidant species.
10,000 Turnovers
When paired with NEAT formulas, oxidation systems are dramatically improved. Every Neat molecule can oxidize up to 10,000 molecules of the target compound. This exponentially improves system intensity at very low Neat doses.
Better for Workers & Systems
NEAT is non-flammable, shelf-stable, pH neutral, non-corrosive, non-fouling, and easy to handle. Designed to be better for workers and existing infrastructure assets.
Nature-Inspired
NEAT formulas mimics the catalytic activity of enzymes in the human body, but is significantly smaller, more reactive, and longer-lasting than enzymes.
Micropollutant Removal
NEAT, when paired with AOPs, has been shown to effectively oxidize a wide range of compounds including chromophores, lignans, textile dyes, active pharmaceutical ingredients, phenols, pyrite, trinitro aromatics, various bacteria, and more.
Applications
NEAT has proven effective at intensifying oxidation reactions for a variety of industrial and wastewater treatment processes including pharmaceutical waste removal, recycled feedstock bleaching, low-temperature fiber processing, textile dye removal, phenol removal, and more.
